“Absolutely fab tour and fab service. We ended up splitting the boat trip and the walking tour elements over two days as our arrival was delayed. Customer service couldn't have been more helpful, so impressed with Viator and the local team. Boat trip is the absolute best with funny, knowledgeable crew who really do their best to give you a good time. Cheese and Beer was great too! Our walking tour was a very wet one but, our guide was brilliant, so much knowledge and passion for the city, and very flexible taking us to places we asked questions about and adding in a rain break and a loo stop.…”
